These could prove quite useful, I think especially the proficiencyLevel property is a great thing to have standardized, but to be honest I’d appreciate it a bit more if they had allowed for a few more values than just “Beginner” and “Expert”. Even a third “Intermediate” value would have made it more usable.

Neither of the schema’s come with any examples, so if you have examples of either of these in the wild I’d love to know. I think it’s fair to say that one would expect the schema.org pages to be marked up with the TechArticle schema, but they’re not….

The LocalBusiness schema has gotten more specific subtypes, some of which themselves have more specific subtypes too, making the total quite a long list. A few of the more specific types have their own attributes, but mostly they share their attributes with the LocalBusiness Schema.

It’s funny to see PostOffice as a subtype of GovernmentOffice by the way, reminds me of good old times and shows how US centric this whole thing is.
